This is very sad. I get a similar newsletter too and every issue has
similar announcements. Asian buyers will be snapping up the equipment
.
A dismal outlook for US ceramic factories. This is a bad time to be
studying ceramic engineering .

I would not be to quick to abandon studies in ceramic engineering.

Utility ware is only a very small part of ceramics. The industrial
applications for ceramics is almost endless. A lot of electronics is
ceramic, there are new flexible films for tinting windows on cars and
buildings that are ceramic coated, some of the high grade printing
paper I use is ceramic ( clay) coated, the auto industry is working on
ceramic engine blocks, the after market auto equipment companies are now
coating engine parts - cylinder heads, piston skirts, valve faces,
crankshafts, camshafts, exhaust pipes, mufflers, brake discs - just to
name a few. There is stuff going on in the aviation industry that I have
just heard about, and i suspect an in depth look would reveal a lot.

I think there is plenty of room yet for ceramics engineers here in the USA.
